  • #33 Sophie Slater, co-founder of Birdsong

    Hello and welcome to Pretty Good Business!

    Our guest today is Sophie Slater, co-founder of Birdsong, a B-corp-certified social enterprise that fights for fair wages for garment workers. Some time has passed since we recorded this episode, and things have changed for Sophie and Birdsong, so some context is needed before you dive into the episode.

    Sophie has now stepped down from her role and is dedicating her time to other projects, while Birdsong has changed their business plan, becoming a print studio. 

    These changes don’t impact the brand’s incredible journey, and Sophie’s story as a founder remains extremely interesting and insightful.
